I’ve tested my fair share of options, seeking ones that check all the boxes: comfort, flexibility, protection, and quality construction.

In this review, I wanted to uncover whether RevIt’s RSR Full Gauntlet motorcycle gloves measure up.

But the main question I will answer in this review is: Are these the best motorcycle gloves for the track? Let’s find out!

Join me as I break down the key features of these gloves to determine if they provide sufficient shielding for aggressive riding.

REV’IT! RSR 4 Gloves: How Do They Perform In Real-World Use?

Over three weeks and a dozen rides spanning highways and twisty backroads, the RSR gloves (1) have become my new favorite pair for aggressive street riding.

The curvature and external seams prevent any discomfort, even during multi-hour stints. The expansive gauntlet opening also enables hassle-free donning and removal.

Ventilation proves adequate for warm weather through the mesh panel perforations. Only on the hottest, most humid days did my hands overheat slightly. For chillier environments, I suggest wearing thin liner gloves underneath for insulation.

The snug yet flexible fit bolsters confidence while operating the motorcycle’s controls. The leather and foam materials provide reassuring tactile feedback for braking, accelerating, and gear changes. Cowhide palm reinforcements ensure a secure clasp of the bars even when sweating.

Fingertip touchscreen conductivity lasts throughout multiple uses without fading. The thumb, index, and middle fingers connect reliably with my smartphone screen wearing these motorcycle gloves.

While I haven’t crashed wearing these moto gloves yet, stationary tests reveal stellar abrasion and impact resistance.

The armor feels substantial enough to absorb energy in a slide while retaining flexibility for long rides. Sliding across asphalt merely scuffs the surface leather without exposure to underlying materials.

For riders seeking versatile street protection with bonus light-duty track potential, the Revit RSR motorcycle gloves deserve consideration. The quality stands out, given the reasonable price tag.

The Revit RSR gloves target riders seeking a technical full gauntlet option without the exorbitant price tag. They blend functionality, safety, and value at a sub $150 price point.

Motorbike Riding Gloves like these aim to deliver complete hand protection for street and even occasional track use. Let’s analyze the construction and components to evaluate how they stack up.

Goatskin composes the main outer shell, providing abrasion resistance for impact zones on the backhand, fingers, and wrist.

The palm area features cowhide leather for extra durability and grip. The glove also incorporates injection-molded, carbon fiber-style knuckle armor for shielding the upper hand. An integrated TPR slider on the side aids in dispersing energy during crashes.

The gloves contain a light tricot liner for comfort, along with perforated panels across the fingers and backhand for ventilation.

Pre-curved fingers enhance ergonomics, while external seams reduce pressure points. For adjusting fit, a Velcro closure strap and elastic gusset allow you to dial in the desired smugness.

Comparison to Similar Racing Gloves

Product Name	Description of Features
ICON Hypersport GP Gloves	The Hypersport gloves offer injected TPU knuckle protection along with goatskin leather construction for abrasion resistance. They lack the gauntlet coverage and slider reinforcements of the Revit RSR model.
Alpinestars SP-8 v3 Gloves	Featuring injected PU knuckles and additional sliders, the SP-8 gloves provide more hardcore protection for track use over the RSR. However, they compromise long-term street comfort with the rigid components.
Dainese Steel Pro In Gloves	The Steel Pro In gloves beat the RSR in protection with carbon fiber knuckles and Kevlar shell construction but their race focus reduces everyday versatility.

The RSR hits a nice balance between protection and flexibility compared to some hardcore track options while exceeding basic street gloves in safety. The blend of coverage, materials, and armor make them suitable for aggressive riding in varied environments.

FAQs

How does the RSR glove sizing run?

Unlike many Revit gloves fitting small, the RSR model runs more generously for American hands. I wear XL for other brands, but the L here accommodates my measurements perfectly.

Would the RSR work for adventure touring rides?

Yes, the abrasion-resistant goatskin stands up to scrapes from the brush while the knuckle armor manages trail impacts. The glove permits a great feel of the bars for control.

What other Revit gloves compare to the RSR?

The RSR hits a middle ground between the basic Seal and advanced Savant models. Lacking the hard outer plastic of the Savant, the RSR focuses on maximizing protection for street and occasional track riders.

Do the gloves include waterproofing features?

No. For wet weather riding, applying a hydrophobic spray treatment or wearing waterproof outer gloves is recommended. The leather construction resists light moisture but lacks membranes for waterproofing.
